DIGEST

Protest alleging the agency failed to evaluate quotations pursuant to the solicitation
criteria because successful vendors offered items that were not manufactured in a
Trade Agreements  Act designated country is dismissed as untimely where protester
failed to diligently pursue information giving rise to this protest ground.
DECISION

Integration Technologies Group, Inc. (ITG), of Falls Church, Virginia, protests the failure
of the Department of the Air Force to establish a blanket purchase agreement (BPA)
with it under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 1400757, for digital printing and imaging
(DPI) products. ITG argues that the quotations of the successful vendors should have
been found unacceptable.

We  dismiss the protest.

BACKGROUND

On  October 24, 2019, pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 8.4, the
Air Force issued a letter of invitation (LOI) to small businesses holding General Services
Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) 36, 70, and 75 contracts seeking
quotations to establish BPAs for DPI products. Agency Report (AR), Tab 3, RFQ GSA
